Applications Information
b) Boost and Buck-Boost modes
Control in Boost and Buck-boost mode is achieved by
sensing the coil current in the series resistor Rs, connected
between the two inputs of a current monitor within the
control loop block. An output from the control loop drives
the input of a comparator which drives the gate of the
external NMOS switch transistor M1 via the internal Gate
Driver. In boost and buck-boost modes, when the switch is
on, current flows from V
ground. This current ramps up until an upper threshold
value is reached. At this point GATE goes low, the switch
is turned off and the current flows via Rs, coil, D1 and LED
back to V
When the coil current has ramped down to a lower
threshold value, GATE goes high, the switch is turned on
again and the cycle of events repeats, resulting in
continuous oscillation. The average current in the coil is
equal to the average of the maximum and minimum
threshold currents and the ripple current (hysteresis) is
equal to the difference between the thresholds.
The average current in the LED is always less than the average current in the coil and the ratio between these currents is
set by the values of external resistors R
loop maintains the average LED current at the set level by adjusting the thresholds and the hysteresis continuously to force
the average current in the coil to the value demanded by the voltage on the ADJ and GI pins. This minimises variation in
output current with changes in operating conditions. Loop compensation is achieved by a single external capacitor C2,
connected between SHP and SGND.
